Sad sad day today: Apple CEO Steve Jobs dies @ 56

Wall[paper by @jayvee
It's a sad day today. The world has indeed lost an amazing human being today.

I'm sharing a link to his inspiring commencement address to Standford 2005 graduates, a year after he was diagnosed with cancer. His speech is actually a reminder, more like a wake up call at this stage in my life to follow my heart and intuition. 




No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Live's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be dramatic, but it is quite true. 


Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
